As time has gone on through my weight loss and life change, it has become my custom to outdo myself, whether it be the last speed, weight lifted, or distance run/ridden. If I complete 5 miles then I have to do 6 the next time I workout. I'm amazed at my competitiveness; if only competing against the clock and myself.
Thursday was awesome...I rode my bike 8.8 miles!!! I also got too much sun, apparently didn't drink enough water; I ended up with a massive allergy attack, which started feeling like a sinus infection, and razor blades down my throat. I spent the whole day Friday slowly getting sicker and sicker, while busting my butt working at the apartment. By Saturday I was in bed and unable to function. That's very discouraging. I went to the Beauty and the Beast musical on Sunday, but did little else. Today, I am feeling better, and had to take time off from my usual workout schedule this week to GET THE HELL OUT OF THE APARTMENT for good. I have been doing so much at the house and apartment that I am working out anyway! I am sticking to my diet and focusing on next week's gym & bike time. I got the craziest idea and started thinking about doing a Triathlon next year!!! I have never, ever done anything athletic or competitive; I never played sports or tried out for anything, so this is a new idea, and I'm really pondering it. When I was swimming last year, I was doing 50 laps in about 30 minutes. I know I can ride 8 mph on my bike, so the run is the main part that needs major improvement. Doing a triathalon is definitely something to work towards. A new goal.
